As long as mac users can view the content that would be the main thing I think. Keep all basis covered. The other pay sites have the option of Windows Media AND MP4.

I would absolutely prefer MPEG-4. H.264 is a more efficient codec than Windows Media Video/VC-1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Media_Video#Video_quality
So if you encode the same video at the same bitrate with both codecs, the H.264 one should look better. If you need an encoder for H.264-based videos I recommend the free, open-source x264 encoder: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X264
It's very popular because it is free, legal, and capable of producing encodes that are compatible with any device that supports H.264 video - software players, media streaming devices, standalone Blu-ray players, etc. The quality the open-source x264 encoder produces is also unmatched thus far.
I have experience with video encoding so I volunteer to help if you want it. Whatever it takes to get the ball rolling on some better quality videos for this site :D

Big breasts are the bests whether real or "enhanced." I thought this was KissMe Girl, not Natural Girl! If I wanted to see flat chests I'd go to a site called KissMe Boy!

Maybe we will offer both on some future scenes and see which gets the most downloads, guess that would tell the tale so to speak.
Aren't Windows Media Video files also less compatible with Macs? I don't have one so I don't know how good support for them is. But Apple's stuff seems to be getting more popular and MPEG-4 is well supported by Apple devices.
wmv is very dated these days

Like I mentioned, we will offer some MP4 on upcoming scenes to see how it goes. I don't think I would classify WMV as out-dated. 90% of the traffic on our site is still PC platform on IE, PC's still rule the world and dwarf Mac users in a big way.
Playing WMV on Macs is easy just need a plugin, much like needing an mpeg/h264 decoder for MP4.
I see you guys also suggest Windows Media Player for wmv. Apparently, the Windows Media Player only has partial support for H.264. It is very outdated; last update for WMP was in 2009.
If you need a suggestion for a player to recommend to your members to play MPEG-4 when you add the option, I'd recommend VLC media player. The reason I recommend this player is because it's free, very easy to install, comes with native support for every format under the sun, is available on every platform (Windows, Mac, Linux), and is adware-free. VLC is under constant development so it always has support for the latest formats.

We'll offer a link for VLC when we start adding the MP4's, thanks
